CURTAIN-FASTENING.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented May 28, 1907.

Application filed December 13, 1905. Serial No. 291,576,

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JAooB SCHNEIDER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Newport, in the county of Campbell and State of Kentucky, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Curtain-Fastenings, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide I an improved curtain fastening of cheap and durable construction, and my invention consists in the combination and arrangement of arts hereinafter described and claimed.

11 the drawings, Figure 1, is a horizontal section, on an enlarged scale, of a fastening embodying my invention; and Fig. 2, a section on line 22 of Fig. 1.

A circular casing A is secured to curtain B by means of tangs a passing through openings in plate a, and clenched over a plate a on the inside of the curtain. In casing A is secured a curved spring C in substantially circular form and having free ends crossing each other and provided withloops c. The spring 0 is secured in casing A by means of bent lugs 0 cut from the wall of casing A so as to leave openings for the passage of the arms (1 of fastening slide D. The slide D is bent to form two arms (1 and a hand iece d. A bridge (1 spans arms d near and piece d and is adapted to engage the knob E to make the fastening. At their inner ends the arms d are turned outwardly to form shoulders d and are provided with lugs 61' engaging loops 0 at the ends of spring C. By turning the arms (I outwardly at shoulders d and crossing the ends of spring 'C, a longer available length of spring is obtained and the shoulders actas stops to prevent withdrawal of slide D fromthe casing. The space between the top of casing A and plate a is made a fairly snug fit on arms 65 and lugs 01 so as to guide the slide and prevent disengagement of the lugs from loops 0.

It will be seen that this fastening'is of very simple and cheap construction; may be readily assembl and is durable in use.

Vvhile I have illustrated and described the preferred construction for carrying my invention into effect, this construction is capable of modification without departing from the spirit of the invention. I therefore do not wish. to be limited to the exact construction set forth, but

What I- claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent is 1. In a curtain fastening, the combination of a casing; a ring-formed spring encircled and confined by the casing; loops in the spring; and a fastening slide adapted to engage the loops, substantially as specified.

2. In a curtain fastening, the combination of a casing; a ring-formed spring encircled and confined by the casing and having its ends overlapping; loops in the spring; and a fastening slide adapted to engage the loops, substantially as specified.

3. In a curtain fastening, the combination of a casing; a ring-formed spring secured in position by lugs cut from the wall of the casing; loops in the spring; and a fastening slide having outwardly bent shoulders and lugs adapted to engage the loops, substantially as specified.

4. In a curtain fastening, the combination of a casing; a ring-formed spring, secured in position by lugs cut from the wall of the easing, and having its ends overlapping; loops in the spring; and a fastening slidehaving outwardly bent shoulders and lugs adapted to engage the loops, substantially as specified.
